    SO! What are the Takeaways from CES 2019?

    My guess is that they have limited R&D resources and chose to focus on supporting equipment that a pro user will need before they release a pro Evo. A multi-charger and a way to connect a second monitor for clients are must-haves for most professionals. Read between the lines. :)

    I need to be a better photographer

    Don’t rely on what you see on the screen. Learn how to read the histogram. That will tell you exactly where the exposure is. Also — RAW, RAW, RAW! Always shoot in RAW. There is so much more that you can do in post if you’re working with raw images.

    Evo and D-log

    I believe they just call it Log. https://3yn7uf15sq4l1ivh8t2tfir5-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Autel-Explorer-App-Manual-English.pdf

    Pictures vs. Video

    I couldn't care less about video. There are so many more practical uses for still photography. In the end you have something that can be printed and displayed.

    Vicious

    Autel is really going for the throat with this. It’ll never happen but I admire the ambition. Autel Seeks Ban on DJI Products in USA - UAS VISION

    Lens profile for Photoshop/Lightroom?

    It's easy enough to make a custom preset for lens distortion. Shoot a lens distortion grid (looks like a checkerboard) with EVO. Open the image in PS > Go to the Lens Distortion filter > Select the "Custom" tab > Make adjustments until you're happy with the result > Save settings. It works...

    Gimbal calibration is supposed to be a feature in the update.

    Starting To See More Night Time Photos

    Thanks for posting this. Low light conditions will really bring out the inadequacies of a camera. They've been hyping this camera since day 1. So far it seems to fall short of their claims. I really want to like the EVO. Hopefully they'll iron these things out in future software updates.

    Well I think this will do it for me

    Wow! That is a straight up bold-face lie! I think my mind is made up. This company is just going to continue their same M.O. until they are bought out or go out of business.

    Evo sensor dynamic range - washout

    The raw images are definitely good. All of the exposure data is there. The jpgs are crap. Try setting the ISO to 100. However auto should still produce a better jpg image than what you're getting.

    Playing around with the Explorer App

    Is there any way to radius the waypoints so that it makes smoother turns? A 90 degree waypoint transition is like hitting a brick wall.

    Stills?

    Have there been any RAW stills from the EVO posted anywhere? I'm curious to see how they compare to the P4P -- specifically dynamic range in low light.

    First look at Explorer App

    an HDMI out for an observation monitor would have been nice.
